HORACE KNAPP, M. D,

The Dubuque Daily Times, of Dec. IS, re-
cords the sudden death in that city of DIR.
Horace Knapp, on the previous evening.
Following are the particulars: "Dr. Horace
Knapp expired at O'Clock last evening after
an illness of twelve hours duration. He
complained of feeling slightly unwell on Fri
day evening and arose yesterday morning
still suffering with pains in the chest and in
the region of the heart. Later in the day
his illness manifested more alarming symp-
toms and by 5 o'clock he breathed his last.
DIR. Knapp came to Dubuque about year
ago. He was a specialist and had quite a
large practice. He was kind hearted and
intelligent gentleman. His native home was
Kingfeld Me-, where he lived for many years.
He was sixty seven years of age and leaves five
grown up children, including DIR. Knapp, the
we'll known dentist of this city. The remains
will be taken to Connecticut for burial to NOR
row evening"" DR., Knapp formerly resided in
Chicago, in the West division of the city.
He was Universalist of many years stand
ing; but we have no particulars of his rela-
tions with any of our churches.
Orrin G. Drew was born in Barnstead, N
H., 1926, and died in Newton, Iowa, Decem.
Der, 1856. In 1852, Mr.. Drew was married
at Fredericktown, o., to Miss Mary E. Drew
In 1857 they came to Iowa and located on g
farm near Newton. Mr.. Drew was a prom
inent citizen in the community, and active il
all matters of public concern. About five
| years ago he met with severe accident
which affected his spine. He soon became
as helpless as little child, and finally los
the use of his mental faculties. To him fel
more than the common measure of suffering
to his devoted wife and three children al
unusual burden of care. Mr.. Drew was fo
several years an active member of the Uni
versalist church. The funeral services wer,
conducted by Rev. j. f. SCHNEIDER.
Mrs. Kate Hernly Guthrie, was born nea
New Castle, Ind, Jan 3, 1868, and died il
The Universalist. [volume] (Chicago [Ill.]) 1884-1897, 1887-01-08

Muncie, Dec. ID, 1886, aged % years, II
months and 10 days. The deceased was q
daughter of Henry and Mary A, Hernly,
and at the age of twelve years her father
passed to the spirit world. After the. death
of the father the family moved to New Cas-
tie, Ind. The subject of this sketch received
high school education and proceeded
through college as far as the sophomore year
and commenced teaching at the early age of
eighteen years. She was married to j. A.
Guthrie, son of Rev. I. s. Guthrie, Feb. %,
1888. The union thus formed was happy
one. There was born unto them one child,
who will feel the loss of a faithful mother.
Mrs. Guthrie was lady with more than or
binary natural as well as acquired ability,
and one of the finest correspondents. She
was revered as a schoolmate, as an associate,
as neighbor, as daughter and sister and
the idol of her bereaved husband. In her
prostrating illness she was patient to fault
and ever confident that under the govern
ment of God all things would finally issue
we'll. To use her own expression, Earth
has no sorrows which heaven cannot heal"
Just previous to the death of her sister, Mrs.
Rebecca Ice, she, in connection with her
mother and sister, united with the Univers-
alist church and thus the trinity was well
coined to its joys and privileges. She died
as she lived, in the triumph of a living faith.
Honor to her memory. The funeral SER
vices were held Wednesday, Dec. Is, 1886. in
the Christian church, New Castle, Ind, where
large congregation came to take last
view of the form of one cherished in the
hearts and homes of all who knew her. Ser
vices conducted by Rev. N. A. Saxton.
Ruby E. Bland, daughter of Wallace and
Eft Bland, was born Sept. Is, 1881; departed
this life Aug. %, 1886, aged years, II
months and 10 days. Funeral services were
conducted by Rev. T. s. Guthrie, of Muncie,
at the Devon Universalist church. Little
Ruby was one of our brightest children. By
her quiet, sweet disposition, all were natur-
ally drawn toward her. The Devon Sunday
school was to her home. She sacrificed all
other pleasures to be there, until compelled
to remain at home on account of illness;
even then pleaded with her father and moth
er to dress her and take her to Sunday
school. She was devoted to her teacher and
classmates, by whom, as well as the remain
ing portion of the school, she will be sadly
missed. Her removal leaves father, mother,
little sister and brother to mourn her depart
ure. May they be cheered by the thought
that she has only gone before, and think of
her as beautiful opening bud in the land of
imperishable bloom. NJ. w.

murder. He that is angry with bis brother
is in danger of the murderer's doom Mat
thew v. 22). Cain grew envious toward and
angry with his more favored brother. His
countenance revealed the state of his mind
and heart. 1.-THE works of the flesh were
manifest: enmity, strife, jealousy, resent
ment, dissension, envying." Lust reigned
supreme, and it "burned Cain sore Che was
very wroth,) and his countenance fell" This
falling of the countenance was but the shad-
ow of the evil in his heart, for when the heart
is right the countenance is bright and lumin-
Gus. COP warns him against cherishing an
evil disposition. Before the door of such
heart, He says, sin crouched as a beast of
prey, eagerly desiring to devour its victim,
and recommends that he should rule over
and subdue it. Cain, disregarding the Di-
vine admonition, continued to cherish the
evil feelings toward his brother, and express
ed them both in words and deeds. He talked
with him (told him) and when they were in
the field together "Cain rose up against Abel
his brother, and slew him." Thus the evil
disposition which had sprung up in Gains
heart, grew into sin which eliminated twas
finished) in the death of his brother whom he
slew. This was the beginning of death in the
history of mankind, and was the fruit of sin.
By Adams transgression sin entered the
world, and by the sin of Cain death was in
troduced. But as sin has been perpetuated,
not because Adam sinned, but because all
men have been tempted as he was, and
yielded to temptation as he did, SO all men
have died physically, not because Abel died
or Adam sinned, but because mans body is
formed from the earth, and returns to it by
decay and disorganization, as do all forms of
earthly organic life.

LESSON FOR JANUARY 10, 1887
BY REV. ROBERT T. POLK.
CAIN AND ABEL.
TGenesia vii 3-16
The BROTHERS.
Genesis vii. 3-16.]

The Bible account records the names OF
history of but three of the children of the
first pair. That Adam had ''sons and daugh-
ters'' is stated ". ~, but we know nothing
of them. Cain, Abel and Seth are all that
are distinguished in the record. The story
of Cain and Abel is our Lesson to-day. Seth
appears to have been born after the death of
Abel, and was the son of Adam from whom
the kingdom of Cop was developed, of which
the Bible is history. All names appear to
be originally significant and indicate some
thing of the character or history of the per-
son to whom they are applied. Adam means
simply "the man." Eve, 1.-THE woman" Cain,
ga possession" and alludes, probably to the
promise of seed that should bruise the SER
pent's head iii. 15); Abel, breath" which
may alude to the brevity of his life; and
Seth, ''the appointed one," the compensa-
tion for the loss of Abel, probably.
The story of Cain and Abel is related,
probably, as an illustration of the results of
evil disposition and unrestrained passion
shown in the descendants of Adam. 1t is an
illustration of death (murder), the offspring
the first murderer, is noted to the family of
Lamech, who was the fifth in the line, and
who was also murderer and polygamist.
"Adah and Zillah, hear my voice,
Ye wives of Lamech hearken unto my speech:
For ] have slain man for woundng me,
And young man for bruisiug me:
If Cain shall he avenged seven-fold,
Truly Lamech seventy and seven fold"
-Gv. %, pa
With this oldest specimen of poetry, the
genealogy of the family of Cain ends. There
are three references to the story of Cain and
Abel in the New Testament: "Abel offered
unto COP a more acceptable sacrifice than
CAIN Hebrews ri. A.; 1--WE should love one
another; not as Cain, who was of the evil
one, and slew his brother, because his works
were evil and his brothers. righteous" (John
iii. 12); Woe is pronounced upon certain un-
godly men turning the grace of COP into
lasciviousness, and denying our only Master
and Lord JESUS CHRIST, "for they went in
the way of Cain" dude Ill.,
There is no reliable chronology of events
III the early history of the race. According
to the commonly accepted chronology of the
Bible, Adam was created B. G. 1904. Seth
was born when Adam was one hundred and
thirty years old, soon after the death of Abel
we may infer. The events of the Lesson &C.
cordingy occurred about B. O. 1875. The
brothers followed the occupation of their ia
Their, who, being expelled from the garden of
Eden, was compelled to labor for subsistence.
Cain was farmer, and produced food; Abel
was a keeper of focks, from whose skins
clothing was provided The beginning of
the division of labor and of busiuess-the
exchange of products-is indicated.
